world Sunday in mourning matador Ivan Fandino, gored to death in a fight
in France.

The
death of Fandino, a 36-year-old from the northern Basque region, was
front page news in several newspapers in Spain, where interest in the
controversial centuries-old tradition remains high.
Bullfighting
retains its popular aura in Spain, which hosts hundreds of shows
annually in a country of some six million "aficionados" who see it as a
sport that is an art integral to their culture.
